Love Beef Accurate

Lol that's horrifying.

TBF Musk was more rich douchebag CEO tech bro in 2018, as far as he was perceived. The mask didn’t fully come off until he buddied up with Trump/MAGA. Many people found it easier to hold their nose to buy a car from the tech bro. Now that he’s come out as full Nazi, not so much.

I'm sure the fact that the Steam Hardware Survey just hit 5.33% Linux has absolutely NOTHING to do with Microsoft's continued pants-on-head stupid and anti-consumer approach to things.

Perhaps not, but there is no GNU/Linux distro that is “ready for primetime” as a mobile OS right now. I WISH there was, but UBPorts, PostmarketOS, etc all either have significant features disparity or are straight up still marketed as “developer experimental”. GrapheneOS is a solid choice for now to provide an alternative, whether a permanent replacement or a stepping stone.

Have data to prove that? Because existing wind turbines hardly kill any birds. That's oil lobby shit leaking through.

Careful. You’re going to get tetanus from sucking off clankers.

There was a study done several months ago. I’ll try to find the source again and link it here in a comment edit.

My company added an AI chatbot to our web site, but beyond that we generally are anti-AI.

Generative AI has an average error rate of 9-13%. Nobody should trust it wholesale and what it spits out. It has some excellent use cases. Vibe code/sysadmin/netadmin’ing are not one of those things.

As someone who works in network engineering support and has seen Claude completely fuck up people’s networks with bad advice: LOL. Literally had an idiot just copying and pasting commands from Claude into their equipment and brought down a network of over 1000 people the other day. It hallucinated entire executables that didn’t exist. It asked them to create init scripts for services that already had one. It told them to bypass the software UI, that had the functionality they needed, and start adding routes directly to the system kernel. Every LLM is the same bullshit guessing machine.

Which part of the industry?

I had no idea what the acronym was. Guess I’m just sheltered or something.

Your brain runs on ChatGPT now. Better start eating a diet of NVidia GPUs.

God dammit iFixIt WHY? I liked you.

I set mine up with HAProxy for TLS offloading and ACME for the server cert. Restrict your access to just your country/region by GeoIP and you are pretty good to go.

Yeah that’s the annoying thing. Generative AI is actually really useful…in SPECIFIC situations. Discovering new battery tech, new medicines, etc. are all good use cases because it’s basically a parrot and blender combined and most of these things are rehashes if existing technologies in new and novel ways. It is not a fucking good solution for a search engine replacement to ask “Why do farts smell?”. It uses way too much energy for that and it hallucinates bullshit.

As a fellow Linux enjoyer: Yup
